In her music you can find hints of classic rock, sensuality, female empowerment, and an emphatic strength and confidence true to her originality and vocal abilities. The singer-songwriter’s sophomore album, First Flower, just dropped last week to rave reviews, noting her gentleness amidst a bright album. She’s bringing her powerful range of vocals and overall versatility to Brooklyn on October 13. For tickets, go to axs.com.
